“This is his golden opportunity to inflict more injury on people but to also draw attention to himself,” Russo said.

By acting as his own attorney, Muller will also be granted access to prosecutors’ evidence, including two videos he allegedly recorded showing Huskins’ rapes.

Russo says Huskins and Quinn are prepared for the showdown in court, but it will not be easy.

“I think it’s going to be a terrible experience for them,” Russo said. “How can it not be a terrible experience for them?”

Muller is already serving a 40-year sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty to a single count of kidnapping. If convicted on the new Solano County charges against him. he could be sentenced to life behind bars.

The timing of the case couldn’t come at more stressful for the couple Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn. This preliminary hearing court date is set for Tuesday. Their wedding is the following Saturday.
